Structure, structure, structure!  I have noticed that if I am not in a routine everyday....I tend to forget things and forget to do things easily, like blogging!

I have to make sure to stay on top of it, but let things get out of routine and I will forget!

Tonight we talked and thought about compassion.  Honestly, some of the most compassionate people I know are those that sit in my group meetings.

I have a problem being compassionate sometimes.  I am very guarded and private.  This leads me to sometimes disassociate my feelings for others.  In fact it is a defense mechanism and not one that is all that good either....

Stop for a second and try to see the full picture of the other person's circumstances.
